My group and I met Kent, Phil, and Jackson from Ubisoft, it was pretty cool. Before meeting them, we practiced our handshakes and greetings because we aren’t really good at introductions but we intend to make this one a good one. Right as the ubisoft guys came everyone sprung up and rushed to them, it was pretty funny to see unfold. This introduction was the best one we had so far, we didn’t miss anyone and we all got their names. Talking with Kent Wilson and his team was pretty chill, it was very informal and casual, almost talking to a friend you haven’t seen in a year. My peers showcased their work and how Think Tank training works. The energy was there and I think we did good in this visit. Talking to them I learned that you should always keep a connection with people you meet in the industry, you don’t know when it’ll help you in the long run. 3d modeling wise, I learned to keep poly counts on models low because it’s what video game companies want. After the talk, Kent recognized me as one of the people who worked on a previous project which was “Crunchtime”, an animated short. It was pretty shocking to me because this is the first time I have been recognized because of my work, so that was a first. Can’t wait to meet more people in the industry!
